I have a friend who moved here from South of the Border.
- Do not get myself and others wrong, the weather South of the Border in her neighborhood is legitimately similar to the weather the people I was with and I have here.
In other words, it’s hot and humid almost all year long. The difference between living there and living here is that the people I was with and I have modern, reliable, relatively inextravagant air conditioner, where she is from there are legitimately few people that have Heating, Ventilation, and A/C systems in their house. Those that do have some sort of heating and cooling method tend to have mini split cooling systems or window cooling systems. They do not leave their AC running if they are not home. As you know, here in this country, there are legitimately few people who turn the air conditioner off when they leave the house. At least that is the case in this part of the country where it is super hot and super humid almost all year long. If the people I was with and I were to turn our cooling systems off, the people I was with and I would be infested with mold and mildew, then people here are all laboring all day and they do not have time to bleach everything all the time to try to keep away the mold and mildew. The answer is legitimately straight-forward, but leave the cooling system on even when you’re not home. I have another acquaintance who is from a unusual country. He, too, does not understand that it is entirely important to leave the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C method running even when you’re not there. True, the vast majority of people turn the temperature control up higher so that the AC won’t run as much as it does when they are home. In this neck of the woods, just about all the people does that.
